1. Because Die Hard is based on a book sequel and the original had been made into the film The Detective, the filmmakers were contractually obliged to first offer the role of John McClane to the star of that film, Frank Sinatra, who was 76 at the time.

2. James Woods fired his agent after hearing that he'd been offered a role in Reservoir Dogs but wasn't told about it.

Does anyone remember the trailer to that foreign animated film that was posted here a while ago? It concerned some chosen ones or geniuses, and how one had to stand against the rest. It looked really good. Don't know the name of it, or what became of it.

I remember posting it, I think it was French and set in New York. I'll have a quick look...

I think it'd be cool to look back on how awful Tron was, despite the hype some people attached to it.

Tron is a taboo subject around here. I don't think it's safe to tease him. Doctor says he has not fully recovered.

I think this is is the biggest factor. My whole life for the past five or six weeks has been taken up with exams and the need to revise for finals, or the need to stop procrastinating.

If it's like the last two years, it'll be a few days into July. You?

So apart from graduation, you're done with university? Must be a scary feeling.

7th or 8th of June.

Yeah like the Matrix, Lord of the rings, just have discussions on certain films in the trilogies or the whole trilogy. Feel free to spearhead it

Was it you that was complaining about how video game reviews break things down too much, without looking at the whole? You might find this interesting. You might find it interesting even if I'm thinking of someone completely different

Takashi Miike (the guy behind Audition and Ichi the Killer) has been confirmed as the director of a live action adaptation of Phoenix Wright. Very odd.

LOL yeah my gf and I were discussing this the other day... I've seen Audition and Ichi The Killer and I'm currently playing Ace Attorney 2 so... I see very little correlation here! He's calling it a "light comedy" apparently, which from him just means that we'll see all the murders graphically I imagine.
